摘要
Dr. Rona Hapern was an anesthesiologist who admitted to William Robinson that she was a heroin addict, broke, and pregnant. After years of being on the faculty, she had no money. Her baby would be born with Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). The baby would not be normal. William gave her a loan of 100,000 dollars. William was able to convince her to enter a rehab center. Despite a slow taper, her withdrawal symptoms were agonizing. A comprehensive medical examination discovered that Rona had lymphoma.
